Poltair and Mount Charles form a mainly residential quarter to the east of St Austell in Cornwall, centred on the pleasant green of Poltair Park with its sports pitches, lake and community events. The neighbourhood mixes Victorian and more modern housing, local shops and schools, and has a tangible connection to the county’s china‑clay heritage - spoil tips and former pits are part of the surrounding landscape.
Economically and socially the area is shaped by a blend of local services, tourism drawn to nearby attractions and continuing links to the clay industry; the presence of active clubs and community groups gives it a strong local identity. Its position close to the town centre and to sites such as the Eden Project means residents benefit from both coastal appeal and inland countryside within easy reach.
